Psychological reactance, the theory that people resist attempts to constrain either their thoughts or their behaviors (J. W. Brehm, 1966), has been an influential concept in social psychology. In an attempt to measure reactance, J. Merz (1983) developed the Questionnaire for the Measurement of Psychological Reactance (QMPR). Subsequent researchers (S.-M. Hong & R. Ostini, 1989; R. K. Tucker & P. Y. Byers, 1987) have debated both the exact factor structure and the psychometric stability of the QMPR. In the present study, 898 undergraduates completed the QMPR. Factor analysis suggested that psychological reactance is multidimensional. The authors found 3 factors underlying the QMPR, but the QMPR provided unreliable estimates for each of those factors. According to the results, the QMPR as currently written is psychometrically unsatisfactory.
心理抗拒理论认为，人们会抵制对其思想或行为的限制企图（J. W. 布雷姆，1966年），这一理论在社会心理学中一直是一个有影响力的概念。为了测量抗拒心理，J. 默茨（1983年）编制了《心理抗拒测量问卷》（QMPR）。后续研究人员（S.-M. 洪和R. 奥斯特尼，1989年；R. K. 塔克和P. Y. 拜尔斯，1987年）对QMPR的确切因素结构和心理测量稳定性进行了辩论。在本研究中，898名本科生完成了QMPR。因素分析表明，心理抗拒是多维的。作者发现QMPR有3个潜在因素，但QMPR对这些因素中的每一个都提供了不可靠的估计。根据结果，目前编写的QMPR在心理测量方面并不令人满意。
